Abbas rival calls for ouster of Palestinian leader
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA prominent rival of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls for the ouster of the veteran leader as Palestinians seek to organize a congress for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Mohammad Dahlan, once a leading figure in Abbas’s Fatah party but now in exile in Dubai, took to his Facebook page to criticize the PA president.
His comments came after Abbas resigned Saturday as head of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee in a bid to force new elections for the top body.
